The small version is perfect for carrying a few essentials in style. The medium size (pictured) can also hold a checkbook or small diary. The largest bag can accommodate a paperback novel or small knitting project.

The base is worked in sturdy Twice Knit (explained in the pattern), then the bag is worked up from the bottom to the drawstring band and crochet chain drawstring. Instructions for large and small flowers are also included in this pattern. Hold the strands of your drawstring together with them, or attach them to a pin to wear on your shrug!
